Artificial intelligence is nothing to be feared, according to Salesforce chief scientist Richard Socher, who says the controversial technology is teaching us what it means to be human.
Speaking to The Australian on his first trip down under, Mr Socher, who founded AI start-up MetaMind before it was acquired by Salesforce in 2016, said his goal was to make deep-learning technology more accessible to everyone.
“I think artificial intelligence is in this really exciting space to the point where it’s almost philosophical,” Mr Socher said.
